What investigations were launched in response to the UN Committee's report, and what were their findings?

The UN Committee's statement, while acknowledging Colombia's persistent problem of enforced disappearances, lacks supporting evidence for the 20,000-body claim. This discrepancy undermines the report's credibility, prompting official investigations by Colombian authorities, including the National Institute of Legal Medicine and the Attorney General's Office, which found no evidence of such a hangar. The incident highlights the challenges of international collaboration and fact-checking in sensitive human rights investigations.
